Cung Le may have tested positive for elevated levels of human growth hormone (HGH) and was then subsequently suspended for 12 months following his Aug. 23 bout with Michael Bisping in Macao, China, but that’s not the end of it. Le has requested an appeal, which is a first for the UFC. For international events when there is no local governing body, the UFC self-regulates, which includes ordering drug testing from a third party facility. The UFC self-regulated the event in Macao and ordered drug testing performed by the Hong Kong Functional Medical Testing Center.
